Bluebell Castle #3
Starlight Over Bluebell Castle
The most magical time of the year…
Jessica Ridley’s life has just been turned upside-down – and not in a good way! So when blast-from-the-past Tristan Ludworth invites her to stay at Bluebell Castle and transform it into a winter wonderland, it’s the perfect distraction for Jess and her two young children…
Jessica is used to planning even the most elaborate events in her sleep, but she certainly didn’t expect to be working so closely with Tristan at the castle – or that she could still find him quite so handsome after all this time!
And with a little holiday magic in the air, it’s becoming harder and harder to resist his charms. Can Tristan convince Jess to give love one more chance, just in time for Christmas?

Sarah Bennett sends out her Bluebell Castle series on a high with last sibling standing, Tristan and his romance with former colleague/crush and single-mum, Jessica.
You have to watch these Ludworth men, they can charm the birds from the trees.”
I loved the way this story played out, and with Jess’ two small boys injecting a serious dose of cute this was a wonderful finale to what has been a wonderful series. I’m actually a little sad to wave farewell to the Ludworth‘s and their ever growing family, but they do say all good things must come to an end.
Noisy? Chaotic? Slightly bonkers? Oh, absolutely. Welcome to Bluebell Castle.”

*Christmas at the Castle*
This was a charming read. When I read a Sarah Bennett book, I usually know what I am going to get. Love, escapism and a good story. This series was all that and more.
This trilogy centres around a set of triplets. Igraine(Aka Iggy), Arthur & Tristan. This time it is Tristan’s story.
He works in London and in the family’s bid to save the castle when their father passes he takes a sabbatical to help get the castle based in Derbyshire up and running and earning money. All his ideas mean he must give up his job as he is finding that the castle is where his heart lies. When he first started working in London one of his colleagues Jess has always had a place in his heart. But before anything could materialise between them life sent them down different paths. Now a few years later she is married with two boys.
On the other hand Jess is in turmoil as her marriage is not going well, they are amicable but realise they need to move on. Now as Tristan offers her a job to help him see his plans realised how will it work? How will her boys adapt? Is there a spark between them? Or will Jess hop-foot it back to London?
Such a cosy and heartwarming story.

I can't believe that one of my favourite series just got concluded and this time we get to see Tristan Ludworth, my favourite among the triplets. Ever since reading the first book, I was waiting for his story to come out and Bennet doesn't disappoint this time too. Tristan's character and good nature shines throughout like a diamond and trust the author to give him the hardest challenge.
A second chance at love? Well, I was not expecting such a gorgeous boy to be denied by anyone. Fate had other plans it seems. Anyone else might have run away from a divorcee with two little kids, but not Tristan. Every second he spent to win over Jessica adds golden points to his basket. And Jessica is well worth the effort. From the very first page, she conquers our hearts and that fiery independent streak only burns high as the story moves on. Sincere and steadfast, she is indeed one of a kind.
I have one complaint though and that concerns the length; considering this is the last we see of this modern Arthurian family, shouldn't there be some more pages? The conflict at the end could have been a bit more complex too, but I am double-minded on that front. To be honest, I am happy that the author didn't follow the cliched plot lines. On the whole, a fitting conclusion to the Bluebell Castle series and just like the previous ones this wonderful story makes our lives a bit more colourful.

I have loved this series and such a shame it's come to an end as so well written and Christmas is such a magical time of year will there be romance on the way. The characters are great and you just want to keep writing.
Jess has her life turned upside down and how will she cope but when Tristan from the castle asks her to come and live in the castle and gets a job as well. She's asked to turn it into a winter wonderland and it's come at the right mind as takes her mind off what has happened. She didn't expect she will see much of Tristan but she ends up working closely with him and starts to remover how handsome he is. With the magic in the air will she resist his charm or not and will she settle in to the castle or will she move on.
Perfect book

It is rare when the last book of a series is the best of the lot, but that just happens to be the case in this particular series. I knew I would sit with this one as soon as I had it on my kindle so I delayed downloading it as much as I could(since I have so many other, older books pending). When I finally did do it, I read it in two sittings. This last bit only happened because of the natural course of night time and sleep requirements trumped reading. Otherwise, it is definitely a one-sitting read.
I have seen the changes in the course of the lives of the two elder of the triplets, while eagerly looking forward to the last one. Tristan has no stake in the legacy of their father, the title or worry for money. He always knew he was not the heir, and he had a steady job in London when his father passed. He came to join his siblings to help with the monetary situation and to lend a hand any way he could. This set him apart from his siblings, for me at least. By the time the previous instalment ended, Tristan had an idea and to implement the plan, someone from his past joins him in working out the situation. This collaboration and the changes to their lives forms the basis of this story. It is a standard formula, but still brilliant to read. It has all the right kind of situations, written with a dash of humour and adorable characters. The characters range from the elderly aunt Morgana all the way down to an infant.
I am not claiming this book was uniquely different, but the author did a great job of taking the usual narrative and making it fresher, colourful and definitely vivid. There is no mystery hidden in this one, no ulterior motive like in the previous two cases but the storyline does not suffer for it. I would have even loved more planning scenes and how the vacation packages were put together in more in-depth detail.
I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, but the review is entirely based on my own reading experience.

Having read and enjoyed the first and second books to this series, it was a no brainer to continue on to book 3 so as to complete the series.
This was another lovely delightful story, was great to be reaquainted with previous characters but also a pleasure to get to know Tristan a lot better in this book which is his story.
I really loved getting to know tbe newest character who entered the castle being Jessica, and hearing her story, not to mention getting to know her two young sons, who were just so adorable and really added something extra to the story I thought.
As always the author Sarah writes her stories in such away that keeps you glued to the pages, all so very well written and such delightful characters, well most of them anyway lol.
So if you haven't discovered Sarah's books yet then don't delay any further as her books are always such brilliant and delightful reads.

Starlight Ove Bluebell Castle is the third and final book in the Bluebell Castle Trilogy. This book is Tristan's story of finding love and romance. Jessica Ridley is a single mom, her marriage ending recently on an amicable note. She is without a job and is out on the town with two friends who she hopes will help her look up and find what she wants. What she doesn't want is to move back home with her two young boys, who will be stifled under her mother's rigid rules. She runs into an old colleague, Tristan Ludworth, who she used to have a crush on. He offers her a job working with him and his brother to turn their old castle into a destination hotel for events and vacations. She agrees and she and her boys end up at the castle to work and live. Jess is determined to turn the grounds into a winter wonderland with festive activities and a Christmas Market. Will proximity rekindle those feelings they used to have for one another?
I read the first two books in this series back when they first came out, but for whatever reason, I never read Tristan's story. Being set at Christmas time, I thought this was a perfect time to see what happens. Jess was dealing with a lot of baggage and I loved how she put her boys first. She is a hard worker, independent, has great instincts and a wonderful outlook on life, and is a wonderful mother. I enjoyed meeting the boys and they added humor and warmth to the story. Tristan also knew that Jess was dealing with a lot, but he couldn't stop his feelings toward her. The rest of the family and people who worked at the castle were back and I enjoyed catching up with them all. Yes, this is a romance and it I knew they would get together, but I enjoyed seeing their relationship blossom. A delightful ending for this series.

Starlight Over Bluebell Castle by Sarah Bennett is the most delightful contemporary tale of castles and romance. The reader sinks into the novel and is cocooned within the story. Bluebell Castle is a place where you can begin to believe in fairy tales.
The book is a perfect read on a grey, gloomy autumnal day as its atmosphere will brighten up the reader’s heart. Set in the Derbyshire Dales in the run up to Christmas, the reader eagerly anticipates the snow and the excitement to come.
Christmas is a time for dreams to come true. Planning the perfect Christmas ignites the reader’s heart with warmth.
There is a wonderful, welcoming feel to the whole novel. They “had a knack of absorbing people into their family.” Even the reader feels included.
Life is not always easy. There are the themes of loss and broken marriages but there are also restoration and new beginnings.
Sarah Bennett has once again created some wonderful characters. It was so easy to empathise with Jess, a busy mum of two delightful but active small boys. Jess was realistically drawn – not perfect with her hang ups over body image but so easy to relate to. What woman doesn’t look in the mirror and criticise herself?
I adored Starlight Over Bluebell Castle. It had all the elements to make it a wonderful read to light up a grey day. It is just perfect.

I enjoyed everything about this trilogy and everything about getting to know the Ludworth clan. The story of Tristan and Jess is a great bookend for this trilogy. I wish there was a map of the castle and the grounds, but trying to imagine the setting was fun. Jess is the perfect partner for Tristan. Both are down to earth and caring for those around them. I loved how the rest of the family immediately took to Jess and her boys. I didn't want this to end. I'm tempted to petition for stories about the rest of the household!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy.

Sweet but disappointing finale to the series. I was so excited for Tristan’s story, but it lacked the passionate chemistry and conflict resolution necessary for a solid romance. Tristan is my favorite of the 3 siblings, and he deserved more. It’s understandable that he’d be willing to wait until Jess was ready to begin a new relationship post-divorce, but not that he’d sleep with her without any intimacy, especially since it had been years since she’d had sex with her soon-to-be ex-husband. I found it unrealistic that he’d pine for a woman for 7 years while she was married and had two children and that he never knew about her brother’s death.
Other weaknesses in the plot? The event-planning work they did for the castle seemed too much of a rehash from the first two books, and, with the opening of a boutique hotel (for all intents and purposes), the timeline was too rushed. Looking back on the three books, it seemed that too much was crammed into the one year following their father’s death. Also, there was no villain to replace the triplet’s mother and Jess’s mother was a pale substitute, especially since she wasn’t evil, just selfish and in denial. Her two boys seemed too well-adjusted for the turmoil in their lives, even if they were enjoying their time at the castle with Tristan’s family. In the end, Tristan and Jess were promised their HEA, but how long will they have to wait for her divorce to be finalized before they can marry and add to his ready-made family (which he so richly deserves)?

Jessica is a wonderful character – she’s hard working, competent and caring. And when her marriage finally kicks up it’s toes, she and her soon to be ex-husband are trying to manage the best way they know how. She’s got to up and move to her parent’s house with her two young boys – nothing she relishes, and her leaving ‘do’ for work brings an unexpected offer. Tristan Ludworth is back in town to meet with the bosses, giving them his final notice as he’s hoping to move into a more ‘event management’ role at the family house. The youngest of triplets, were it not for the laws about females inheriting, his sister Isobel would be in charge, but his elder (by minutes) brother and his new wife are doing all they can to make things work. Tristan’s latest idea, a true “family feel” upscale Christmas celebration is a fine idea, but the bosses have clearly explained to him that he needs a partner who can ‘see details’ as it’s not his forte. Enter Jessica and a rather (at first) offhanded offer to work in the new venture.
While surprised, the stress from her mother (and former mother-in-law) regarding her impending divorce and her “next steps’ has her rather impulsively taking the option and will a carload of possessions, two young boys and a trunkful of apprehension, they head to Bluebell Castle. Almost instantly the magic of the castle starts working on Jessica and the boys: the family is welcoming, the staff can’t get enough of the children, and the house is wonderful. Not to mention that working with Tristan, and having a ‘new view’ of the castle and what they can offer guests instantly has everyone on board. With a cast of characters that we have come to know over the first two stories, and the ability to show us the countryside and the magic of the castle for the first time through Jessica’s eyes, the story is atmospheric and delightful, with plenty of laughs, a heaving hoarde of dogs, the ever-present quirks about names and the family Arthurian obsessions, and plenty of moments for Jessica to start her new life as her confidence grows and she finds her center – the story is easy to read and get lost in.
With Christmas and New Year’s being the highlight of one of the plot points, and the main reason Jessica is there – the return of Isobel, the involvement of the community, and the wonderful imagery created by the stars, winter wonderland walk and the Christmas Faire, the story is one that will make you want to seek out your own Bluebell castle, leaving you with plenty of spirit and hope for the new year.

It has been my pleasure to read and review a few of Sarah's books. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading them all. Each time Sarah releases a book, I grab a copy of it and I don't re-emerge until I have finished reading it. Then the wait begins for Sarah's next book. Well the wait is temporarily over because Sarah's latest book is called 'Starlight Over Bluebell Castle' and it was released on 4th November 2019. I can definitely say that you are in for a treat!! I thoroughly enjoyed reading 'Starlight Over Bluebell Castle' but more about that in a bit.
It took me next to no time to get into this book. I was under this book's spell from the moment I picked the book up until the moment I closed the back cover. I just couldn't get enough of either the beautiful sounding scenery and the lovely characters. As soon as I started to read, I just knew that I would not be able to put the book down for any length of time and so it proved to be. I would pick the book up only intending to read a couple of chapters but I would still be sat there over half a dozen chapters later. The pages turned increasingly quickly as my desperation to find out how the story panned out steadily grew and grew. At one point the pages were turning that quickly that it was almost as if they were turning themselves. I reached the end of the story far quicker than I had intended. I had tried to ration how much I read in one go to prolong my enjoyment of the book but that attempt at rationing was soon thrown out of the window because I was enjoying the characters, the storylines and the author's writing style so much that I just couldn't stop reading.
'Starlight Over Bluebell Castle' is superbly written but then I wouldn't expect anything else from Sarah Bennett. She has a writing style that is easy to get used to and easy to get along with. She certainly knows how to draw you into the story from the first word on the first page and you become so wrapped up in the story that you lose all sense of time. At least that's how I felt at any rate. I though that I had been reading for just half an hour but when I looked up to check I was stunned to realise that I had been reading for over an hour. Sarah writes so realistically and uses such vivid descriptions that I really did feel as though I was part of the story myself.
In short, I thoroughly enjoyed reading 'Starlight Over Bluebell Castle'. This is a heart warming tale that will melt even the frostiest of hearts. I would definitely recommend this book to other readers. I can't wait to read more of Sarah's work in the future. Here's hoping that we don't have too long to wait. The score on the Ginger Book Geek board is a very well deserved 5* out of 5*.

This is the final book in the this trilogy set in Bluebell Castle. I have previously described the novels as Antiques Roadshow meets Downton Abbey, with added Chelsea Flower Show and now we are going to add in a Winter Wonderland.
Everyone is back from the previous novels, Arthur and Lucie Ludworth current Baronet. Constance, Lucie's mother and Lancelot, Arthur's Uncle. The ever dominate presence of Aunt Morgana and her wisdom, along with Iggy and Will forging a life in London now her work at the castle is done and of course youngest sibling Tristan who is the main feature of this novel.
Tristan once met a girl at a party, she happened to then work with him but some very cruel remarks from someone else set that girl on a different path and Tristan never knew why she didn't come back. But now she has.
That someone is Jess Ridley.
Life has happened to Jess, excelling at her career in events planning she has fitted in a marriage to the best friend of her brother and two sons.
But now all of that has changed, she has left her job, her marriage is over and she is looking for what she can do next. With two young boys in tow that might be more difficult than she thinks.
In steps Tristan with an offer come to Bluebell Castle for a few months, help in launch his Winter Wonderland and take the time to decide on what is best for her and her young sons.
That would be simple, if Jess did not have some feelings for Tristan and Tristan did not have feelings for Jess. It could become very complicated.
But the residents of Bluebell Castle embrace all who enter it and take Jessica and her sons into their home and their hearts. I so wanted to turn up and be embraced and welcomed and left alone to join in or not as the whimsy took me. And that is the second idea that Tristan and Jess have, a house party for Christmas at Bluebell Castle.
Christmas brings its own magic and can Jess really see herself with Tristan if she could perhaps just trust not just him but her own heart?
What an excellent finish to a trilogy that I so want to go back and visit, but now I have left I know that all is well, that life will go on and everyone has found their happy ever after and they can deal with whatever life throws at them.
An excellent Christmas read which captures so many wonderful elements of Christmas but the most important one - being with people you love and cherish. That is the best gift of all.
Thank you to the publisher via netgalley for the opportunity to read this book.

Plot
The most magical time of the year…
Jessica Ridley’s life has just been turned upside-down – and not in a good way! So when blast-from-the-past Tristan Ludworth invites her to stay at Bluebell Castle and transform it into a winter wonderland, it’s the perfect distraction for Jess and her two young children…
Jessica is used to planning even the most elaborate events in her sleep, but she certainly didn’t expect to be working so closely with Tristan at the castle – or that she could still find him quite so handsome after all this time!
And with a little holiday magic in the air, it’s becoming harder and harder to resist his charms. Can Tristan convince Jess to give love one more chance, just in time for Christmas?
Review
Where do I start?
Firstly, I want to thank Harper Collins for generously gifting me a copy of this book.
I absolutely adored everything about every single page of this. This is the first in the Bluebell Castle series I’ve read but I feel that it could easily be a stand alone. Jess is a wonderful character filled with love but the insecurities we can all relate to. Her two little boys are adorable and so well written I found myself nodding thinking yeah that’s what kids do!
Tristan - uh yummy! But again a well rounded individual.
I loved the story and the journey that Jess goes on. It’s serious yet light enough to get turkey invested. This combined with the almost comical going’s on of the Arthurian legend named siblings was just the perfect blend.
Finally, I want to say this. I didn’t just read this book - I saw this book. Every page created picture and before long I was mentally begging Netflix to make a Christmas movie from it. The Christmas setting just comes alive and evokes the feelings and sense memory you have attached to it.
Utterly delightful.
Now, where can I find a real Bluebell Castle?

Thank you to HQ for my invitation to the tour and my copy of the book in return for a fair and honest review.
This is the 3rd book in the Bluebell Castle series and I have been lucky enough to have been on the blog tours for all three.
I loved the characters and it felt like coming home going back to the castle again, this time focusing on Tristan who has been taking a sabbatical away from his London job to help save the castle with his siblings Arthur and Iggy.
This story starts a few years before when Tristan is just a graduate and an office party liaison with Jess is the beginning of something that Tristan feels is really special.
Sadly Jess experiences a huge tragedy on this night and life cannot be the same for her and she ends up marrying a childhood friend Steve and has 2 boys with him.
The book picks up in the present as Jess and Tristan are both about to move on to new pastures but is fate pushing them together or will they be destined to go their separate ways.
It is a really lovely read and I enjoyed going back to the castle one last time.
I read the book quickly and it was a chrismassy delight with reindeer and all the Christmas sparkle and trimmings and as always the castle was comforting and familiar. The quirky personalities of the family members made me smile throughout the book as they truly are so lovely and welcoming to Jess and the boys.
I will be sad not to be able to return to Bluebell Castle as I have grown to love the characters and it’s been a real treat to be part of this.

Jessica Ridley and Tristan Ludworth were colleagues once upon a time, each with a crush on the other, unbeknownst to them. But in one night everything changes when her brother passes away and she gets married to Steve, her brother’s best friend. Fast forward a number of years and both of their lives are changing yet again. Jessica and Steve are getting divorced, very amicably, and Jessica has resigned to move in with her parents. Tristan is moving back to Bluebell Castle to oversee a huge Christmas project there. When he finds out that Jessica is also leaving and probably in need of a job, he offers her the position of his assistant in organizing this Christmas event.
Neither of them ever got over their feelings for each other from year ago, and being in constant contact with each other made them consider all the possibilities of what could and could not be.
I love Bluebell Castle and the Christmas magic that they wrought with the Christmas market and opening their home to paying guests over the holidays. Jessica and Tristan are both wonderful characters. Each one had something to prove to themselves and to others. I enjoyed seeing them grow together and become closer and eventually fall in love. It was great to revisit Tristan’s family as well.
It was a great read, quick, and fun, and left me with a very warm-hearted feeling.
I received an advanced copy of the book from Netgalley to review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Like the two books that came before this one, this is a wonderful heartwarming love story. This one follows the third triplet, Tristan, and his love for Jessica, the woman from his past that always had a place in his heart.
The characters of Jessica and Tristan were believable and loveable from the start, it was nice to see the rest of the family in the book too.
Jessica was an events planner who worked with Tristan years earlier before she married Steve and had two small boys, but their marriage was at an end and she was going to take to boys back home to live with her parents, it was not something she looked forward to, then at her leaving party Tristan put in an appearance and offered her a job to organize Christmas and New year events at the castle in Derbyshire, although it was reckless she accepted and moved into the Castle with the boys.
Jessica and the boys are welcomed warmly by all of the family. She can’t wait to get to work. She really loves her job and the boys love their new home even though it's temporary. follow their story and the love growing between Jessica and Tristan.
The run up to Christmas and the events over Christmas make you feel like you are there enjoying the festivities with them, it is such a shame this is the last book in this series, maybe one more book a couple of years later with everyone settled and maybe a few additions to the family....well done Sarah on another brilliant series.

🎀 Sweet, second chance, festive romance with a built-in family👨👩👦👦
4.5🌟stars
💞 😊I really enjoyed this last of the three romance in the Bluebell Castle series. It was warm, festive, and even better than the previous Sunshine Over Bluebell Castle. Tristan, the only remaining "uncoupled" of the Ludworth triplets, is in the mood for finding a lasting relationship like siblings Arthur and Izzy (featured in the previous books in the series). His generous offer of a temporary job and home to former colleague Jess and her young sons turns out to be the start (or restart) of something fine.
The boys Elijah and Isaac and the way the denizens of the Castle all take them into their lives and hearts upped the warmth of the romance, and the Winter Fair and holiday paying guests gave the story a fun, friendly atmosphere. Tristan's tender care for the boys is especially touching and Jess can't help noticing. And I found the author's treatment of Jess and Steve's break-up and aftermath, with all the worry for the boys' welfare and the parents' interference, very true to life. There's minimal angst and for readers looking for clean romance, the heat of this romance pretty much stops at some serious kissing.
Thanks to publisher HQ Digital and NetGalley for providing a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest review.

If you want a gorgeous, charming, uplifting, and romantic read you won't go wrong with Starlight Over Bluebell Castle.
Jess and Tristan are such great characters. It was obvious from the beginning of the book that they were meant to be together and I couldn't help but mentally yell at Jess to give him a chance every time she dithered about making a decision. Thankfully she followed her heart.
The permanent residents of Bluebell Castle are loving, kind and full of fun. The feel good factor oozes from every page they grace.
The setting of Bluebell castle is a beautiful and magical place. If it was possible I would book in there myself for a holiday! The next best thing for me though is to read the previous books in the series. I haven't read the first two but I am sufficiently charmed enough to start them now.
Starlight Over Bluebell Castle is a lovely read and thoroughly deserving of 5 stars.

What a lovely heartwarming book! The third in this series, this story followed Tristan, the third triplet and his romance. It was so nice to read after Lucy and Arthur’s story in the first book and Iggy and Wills in the second. I’m so glad Tristan got the limelight here and it was a great way to finish off the set of books.
I so rapidly grew to love these books and now I’m so sad they’re over! They’ve been fantastic and so entertaining. I always looked forward to returning to this series but tore through them so quickly, I feel bereft now I’ve finished them!
The audiobook was great too and they’re such fun and sweet reads. I’m definitely sad to leave Bluebell Castle and will fervently hope there will be more in the future! I loved catching up with the siblings and seeing how the castle progressed. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

This is my first book I've read by this author . I initially loved the cover and after reading the blurb decided it sounded like something I'd enjoy reading and I was not disappointed .
The style of writing made it easy to lose yourself in the story as it unfolds, with such likeable characters This can easily be read as a standalone, I didn't feel like I needed to have read the previous books to enjoy this one. Overall this was a lovely, heartwarming and romantic festive read that I devoured in one sitting. The descriptive writing made me want to go and see the winter wonderland for myself. I thoroughly recommend this book

Starlight Over Bluebell Castle by Sarah Bennett is the 3rd book in the Bluebell Castle series, and my first book by this author. I was not lost at all by reading this book first. I loved this sweet romance book. This story felt real to me. No game playing or stupid mistakes between the love interest, and that was a nice change from other romances. Jessica is not thin, she has curves and handsome Tristan finds her beautiful, which was refreshing. The story was well thought out, perfect for a holiday romance. I am looking forward to reading the other two books in the series. I highly recommend this book.
I reviewed a digital arc provided by NetGalley and the publisher. Thank you.

Starlight Over Bluebell Castle: (Bluebell castle, Book 3). Sarah Bennett
I have loved reading these 3 books in the series. All the characters have been so happy and pulled together to make the Family of Bluebell Castle a success after the Late Baron had passed away leaving the family almost broke. The story of Tristan and Jess was delightfully written and such an unexpected bonus to the story. Th3 two little boys added much to the 3rd book too when Tristan was trying to prove himself to Jess. A beautiful story in Three Books presented perfectly and I wish there had been more to read. Thank you Sarah Bennett 💕

This has to be my favourite in the series and it forms the perfect final novel in the trilogy. I almost feel as if I have visited the Castle and met all the characters, they are so vividly drawn. Jess gets your sympathy from the beginning. She seems so down to earth and caring. Set in the build up to Christmas, you get to share in the festive feel of the preparations in the castle. Tristan emerges as a central character and you learn a lot more about him. This is one of those books which I couldn't wait to read and I wasn't disappointed- far from it. What a warm, lovely series this has been!

This is the final book in the Bluebell Castle series, and is a lovely festive ending to the series.
It's a nice and easy read, plenty of romance. The previous characters from the other books appear in this book, and it's good to find out if everyone has their happy endings.
It's difficult to not give away any spoilers, but this is a very enjoyable read. I can't wait to read more books by Sarah Bennett, and I hope that there are more series in the future, as she writes them very well.
Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for my ARC.
